Day 345 - Starting over ...

Well, at least on this blog. Its been a very long time since I've posted anything, but there has been a lot going on. I've got my own store now, for Faerycat Designs. My biggest seller seems to be some sculptmaps ffor piercing jewelry that I originally made for a friend. One of those funny things, really. I need to get my clothing up there and find time to make stuff - its been difficult lately. I need multiple versions of Beth - ones for classes, ones for working and ones for playing.

Anyway, I'll see about getting some pictures up of things I've got for sale.

Day 119 - Bad Faerycat, no cookie

Its been a very busy time for me, so of course, no updates since my earliest days alive in SL. Not really an excuse, just a fact, really. I'm no longer dancing, which I suppose is both good and bad, since means less revenue to roll back into my shop, but also means less blushing too. DJing went from being a well paid gig with few tips, to decent tips but no actual pay beyond that, but got something called an agent for that.

My store. I'd decide to start off making lamps and other types of low prim furnishings. Figured, very few folks make such things, so less likely to be lost in the shuffle - and I think I guessed wrong. My lamps are pretty, I think, and have custom scripting to turn it off and on, with only the lampshade glowing. My rug is well done too, with 10 different textures, menu-recolourable fringe and modible too, so you can make them different lengths and widths. My sideboards might be really simple, but everything is using custom textures, except for the fringe, which was a free texture I desaturated for use. Nothing has sold.

I'm about to start doing shapes and skins. I keep getting compliments on my own, which I've done myself. Might also throw in jewelry and clothing, once I manage to get a few designs out of my head. I'm really picky, so if it comes out well, I'll wear it, and considering stuff I've bought myself that's not been nearly as good as the pictures lead you to believe.....well, if I can just start getting recognized...

Anyway, if you are curious about my shop, just look for Faerycat Designs. Its in Los Pengos.

Day 33 - Launch of Faerycat Designs

Hi - yes I know, I've been very lax of late and for that I apologize. Been working hard to make something I felt was worth selling and I finally got it up on XStreet - yay me! Its just a large cushion-rug with some smaller pillows, but they all are colour-changeable and there are 7 different sit poses. I'd have made it where multiple people can lounge on it, but need to find time with a guinea pig to make sure feet and arms don't go through other folks.

Its over on xstreet - here

Day 22 - bad fae, no cookie

I know, I know - only 22 days old now and forgot to update for a long time. I'm almost old enough to start putting stuff up on this place called Xstreet. Can hardly wait - so many ideas for pretty houses and furniture and jewelry and... well, you get the idea.

My latest hobby is fishing. Won a competition my first night out and it was also a lot of fun, so expect some more fishing type posts and pictures. And there will be some pictures, I promise.

For tonight, off to sleep - got a class tomorrow and a costume to start working on.

Day 11 - Busy little flitten

Hi - sorry its been a few days, but they have been busy ones.

I found a job, first of all. I'll be dancing, and hopefully I'll do alright with it. I've also been adopted by a clan in Neko Asylum, and hopefully I'll be a credit to them as well.

Knowledge, I've been packing alot into my head the past few days. I have made a chair that is colour-changing, as well as learning how to build with as few prims as necessary. I've also learned to sculpt prims, though not very well yet. And then there is scripting. Again, I'm not very good yet, but I'll learn.

And I've made a bunch of new friends.

I'll try and get up some pictures soon,
Aribeth

Day 7 - A forgetful fae

Sorry, I've not been goo about updating my journal. I've been spending much of my time going to classes at NCI. In fact, so many classes that soon I'll need to pause and practice the stuff I've been learning.

What have I been learning? Well, let's see - scripting, animation, sculpties, flexi skirts, jewelry making and how to make the most of my prims - I've the nicest set of furniture I made in one class. Of course, my storage trunk is a mess, but we'll get it sorted soon. Anyway, I'll be back later - maybe with something actually useful, like how to look nice with no money.

Day 4 - Learning to defend and heal

Hi guys - Today I did some exploring and made a new friend who taught me how to use my natural magics to heal myself and others, as well as how to use a knife. So now I'm all set to go exploring some of the less friendly parts of the world.

I also went to school again today and learned how to make some really basic clothing that looks just as nice as some of the stuff I've found for free, and as nice as some of the stuff I've seen for sale. I might just have to go into business for myself, if this job situation doesn't improve.
